Nutritionalists: they study all the information, learn through their experience and others, focus on this area and become an expert with amazing knowledge, advice and lifestyle changes to impact your entire family.

Physical therapist, study and focus and learn how to help your body heal and improve both physically and mentally, through excercise and movement.

Therapist: study emotion and thinking and how to work through problems in practical ways and change a perspective to change your life.

Teachers: Train and focus on child learning techniques and have experience and practice to see what works, how a child learns, and to know what to teach next.

Financial planners/accountants: They focus on how to budget and spend wisely, and live within your means and invest in the future.

Vetranarians/Dog trainers: know just what your pet needs and when and how often and how to do it.

Organizers: Study and practice and find ways to have a place for everything and everything in its place.... less is more..and put it where it belongs.

Recreational Directors: Focus on how to have fun and bring enjoyment into your life, activities that are age and ability appropriate, and enjoyable for all

The list goes on......

What all these folks have is the focus of one area. By narrowing their focus, they have the time and ability to learn, practice and share much in their area of expertise. It comes easy for many of them, because it is what they love. Being so absorbed in their one area of expertise, they can sometimes not understand why someone else does not "get it" or have the desire (time) to put as much focus on that area.

I am a mom.

I need to be an expert in all these areas.

I am an expert in none of them.

----------------------------------

ok, that is my last whine today, I hope. I now plan to go spend some time with the one who is an expert and get destressed, rather than keep blogging about it.

i heart esty

O God, I have tasted Your goodness,
and it has both satisfied me
and made me thirsty for more.
I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace.
I am ashamed of my lack of desire.
O God, the Triune God,
I want to want You;
I long to be filled with longing;
I thirst to be made more thirsty still.
Show me Your glory, I pray,
so I may know You indeed.
Begin in mercy a new work of love within me…
Give me grace to rise
and follow You up from this misty lowland
where I have wandered so long.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

I Would Gather Children

Some would gather moneyAlong the path of lifeSome would gather roses,And rest from worldly strife.But I would gather childrenFrom among the thorns of sin,I would seek an ebony curl,And a wide and toothless grin.For money cannot enterIn that land of endless day,And roses that are gatheredSoon will wilt along the way.But oh, the laughing children,As I cross the sunset sea,And the gates swing wide to heaven,I can take them in with me!~Author Unknown~

If it ain't fresh...it ain't food!

No Orphans in God...

God Loves Us...

“God wins us,not by shouting, beating us up, or starving us into submission,but by asking for an invitation to enter.

We are loved into surrender.The more we accept that he operates out of love for us, the more we will entrust ourselves to him.

Fénelon expresses this truth beautifully: "God is not a spy looking to surprise you. He is not an enemy lurking in the shadows to hurt you. God is your Father who loves you, and wants to help you if you will but trust in His goodness."
